Priorities/values in the First World

Here comes the Bugatti Veyron. The 16 cylinder, quad-turbocharged car, that reaches speeds of up to 400 kmh, and 100 kmh in just 2.9 seconds. And just what is the price for this modest and humble means of transportation; a meager $1.2 million USD; that's right, million! O.K. world, are u joking?!!

Having a 'missionary mindset', and seeing things, more often than not, in relation to easing peoples suffering in the rest of the world, and such; this is a brutally honest truth about what we strive for in First World Nations. Bugatti is struggling to keep up with orders from wealthy men here in North America as the pressure to keep one step ahead of the competition nears a climax. The idea of having the best, of sticking it to the ones who are in the same sphere of influence of us, is getting out of hand. When we are willing to buy (not alone, make) a car worth so much, we have to take stock of where we are in life, and what is coming in the next life. With all these luxuries, we deny the Maker, and His Love for the downtrodden of this earth. What is important in this life? Is it First World comfort and luxury? or is it.............something else? Israel was caught up in things that weren't important, in the grand scheme of things, once or twice. The prophet Micah was given a beautiful message about 'what is really important to God'. T'is found in Micah 6:8:

He has told you, O man, what is
good;
And what does the LORD require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?
(NASB)
